The First Analyst of the Interstellar Era

Chapter 179 : Side Story - Chun-Sui Relationship Line

Chen Sui felt something was different about Xie Chunshi.

After the first team competition, this feeling had lingered in her heart.

Perhaps that honey-flavored nutrient solution was too sweet, Chen Sui thought, otherwise why would she feel so happy whenever she saw Xie Chunshi?

It must be because he always brought honey-flavored nutrient solution, so subconsciously she associated him with the nutrient solution.

At first, she didn't pay attention to this feeling. After convincing herself, Chen Sui very quickly accepted the fact that she would feel better when seeing Xie Chunshi.

But the turning point probably occurred when the Commanders had a collective meeting, and Chen Sui represented Zhu Jing Fu along with other academies to collect military supplies, together with her good friends.

Gu Qinxue, Xue Yaoyao, Xie Yi, Lu Ting, and even He Lanqi and Song Yuan joined them.

Xin Ming wasn't available because there was a problem with the security system recently, so she had been temporarily reassigned.

"The logistics department says the Sixth Military Zone doesn't have honey-flavored nutrient solution, Suisui," Xue Yaoyao knew Chen Sui liked this flavor. In fact, after receiving military supplies, one could exchange them at the logistics department. Exchanges for things like nutrient solution flavors were very common.

The person in charge of logistics poked his head out from the display window, scanned the group of girls in front of him, and focused on the well-behaved child in the center: "Are you the one asking for honey-flavored nutrient solution? We don't have that flavor here."

"The Research Institute recently improved nutrient solutions, and many new flavors have been recalled, so Zone Eleven can't exchange them now. The flavor you mentioned can only be purchased privately, the procedure is very complicated, and the cost is not small, so we haven't procured any. After the improvements are complete, I can get some from the Research Institute, but it will take some time."

The person in charge had a good impression of these military students. They would eventually enter Zone Eleven and become Border Army members in the future.

Moreover, a well-behaved and cute child like Chen Sui easily gained the favor of elders.

No honey-flavored nutrient solution—this news was like a bolt from the blue for Chen Sui.

In fact, she could drink nutrient solutions of all flavors and wasn't picky.

When she first crossed over, Chen Sui didn't even have any preferences; delicious and not-so-delicious foods were treated the same by her.

But it was at this moment that Chen Sui discovered that when she learned she couldn't drink honey-flavored nutrient solution, her heart actually felt a bit disappointed.

Following this thought, a flash of realization struck Chen Sui's mind: the person in charge said there were none recently, but just yesterday Chen Sui had gotten one from Xie Chunshi!

!!

She seemed to have discovered something. This information made Chen Sui's pupils widen suddenly, and the ends of her hair curled and stood up.

Xue Yaoyao curiously touched it.

"You're saying that Xie Chunshi often gives you honey-flavored nutrient solution?"

He Lanqi's eyes showed understanding. Seeing Chen Sui's bewildered appearance, she inwardly lit a candle for Xie Chunshi.

"Wow," Xue Yaoyao exclaimed, "he must be really rich!"

Xie Yi nodded in agreement: "Yeah, Little Brother Chun is super rich. Let me tell you, he has several houses on Wisteria Star!"

"What!" Xue Yaoyao's expression turned cold, and she grabbed at a haystack fiercely: "I'll fight you rich people to the death!"

"No, you feel happy when you see him?" Lu Ting caught on to Chen Sui's other meaning.

Chen Sui's ears instantly turned red when pointed out by her. Gu Qinxue noticed this on one side and helplessly held her forehead, while He Lanqi held back her laughter and exchanged glances with her.

"Don't you feel happy when you see me?" Xue Yaoyao puffed up her cheeks and questioned.

What right did Xie Chunshi have? If it were Gu Qinxue she could tolerate it, but this guy actually had a better relationship with Chen Sui than her?!

"I'm happy too," Chen Sui felt her cheeks burning but couldn't find the reason. Her eyes were watery, showing somewhat reserved shyness, "But I feel, it's a bit different."

Xue Yaoyao pondered for a moment, not quite understanding how to explain it, so she turned her gaze to the others.

"What do you think?"

"I think," He Lanqi had been holding back for a long time but finally decided, for the sake of their classmate relationship, to help Xie Chunshi out. Otherwise, if these people led Chen Sui's thoughts astray, his progress in pursuing his wife would retreat directly to the starting point: "Why don't you ask Xie Chunshi? Maybe he knows the reason?"

"As the saying goes, the one who tied the bell must untie it. Why not ask Xie Chunshi?"

"Ah," Chen Sui didn't know why, but she felt somewhat embarrassed, "Ask him?"

She blinked, feeling something unusual.

But He Lanqi looked at her with encouraging eyes, "Yes, your Commander would know. Xie Chunshi is quite knowledgeable after all."

Put this way, it reminded Chen Sui that this seemed correct.

When she was in her awakening period and external manifestations appeared, it was Xie Chunshi who solved it. Thinking about this, Chen Sui recalled with some embarrassment that she had even drunk plant growth potion back then, and Xie Chunshi was indeed bold to dare give it to her directly.

"That makes sense!"

Chen Sui stood up. Although the problem wasn't solved, there wasn't much perplexity on her face.

Meanwhile, the Commanders finished their meeting and walked out. As soon as they opened their light brains, they all received several messages.

The expressions of the people around them became somewhat strange. Zhang Yingjie curiously took a look, but his own light brain had no messages. He turned to ask Xie You beside him: "What happened?"

Xie You's expression was peculiar. He first scanned Xie Chunshi, then seeing Zhang Yingjie's clueless face, suddenly remembered that Xin Ming wasn't here today, no wonder Zhang Yingjie didn't know: "Ahem, nothing," he lowered his voice and leaned in: "There's a good show to watch involving Xie Chunshi."

Zhang Yingjie raised an eyebrow and recalled that they were all in the military district building today, only Chen Sui and her companions went to collect military supplies. Could something have happened?

And what could make this group of people show expressions of watching a good show...

Zhang Yingjie nodded knowingly: "What, has Chen Sui come to her senses?"

Xie You widened his eyes, "Hmm? Did someone tell you?"

"Does this need to be told?" Zhang Yingjie could guess. He had seen Xie Chunshi give Chen Sui nutrient solution several times. That flavor was hard to collect, otherwise why would he give Xie Chunshi the opportunity to let Chen Sui collect military supplies.

Xie You watched Xie Chunshi walk away, lagging behind with Zhang Yingjie, and said with a sigh: "Chen Sui doesn't seem like someone who would easily come to her senses. Speaking of which, I've always been curious why my brother would fall for her."

"It's fine, don't you think Xie Chunshi and Director Xie are very similar?" Zhang Yingjie saw through everything.

Xie You was stunned for a moment.

Actually, at the beginning, everyone said Xie Chunshi was more like Song Baining, and even Xie Chunshi himself thought so.

But thinking carefully, after Song Baining's disappearance, he indeed became more and more like Xie Liuyun. The father and son were almost identical.

Even their love-brained tendencies were inherited.

"Besides, there's nothing surprising about him liking Chen Sui. For people like him, patience and calmness attract his attention because these are abnormal for a Commander."

And coincidentally, Chen Sui was the epitome of both.

When Xie Chunshi's internal admiration for Chen Sui's patience and calmness began to transform into sympathy, he had already violated the rationality of being a Commander.

This would also be the beginning of his heart being moved.

And coincidentally, Xie Chunshi had witnessed the most crazy love, and understood himself well enough, so he wouldn't find himself in a situation of loving without knowing it.

He had always been very clear-headed and rational, watching himself step by step walking toward the whirlpool named Chen Sui.

"That's scary," Xie You wasn't surprised by Zhang Yingjie saying these things, because this guy had experience. So he joked: "When you liked Xin Ming at first, were you like this too?"

"That's different," Zhang Yingjie's eyes showed a tender smile, "My liking her, I knew from the first glance."

"Hiss—"

Xie You got goosebumps all over.

He really couldn't adapt to Zhang Yingjie like this: "Eww~ so mushy, save it for Xin Ming."

He needed to find his teammates. These people after falling in love were like they had been soul-possessed, too scary.

Xie Chunshi wasn't surprised that Chen Sui would come to ask him about this.

But besides that, he couldn't deny the ten thousand expectations in his heart.

"Here are the military supplies," Chen Sui handed him the spatial button as soon as they met. Xie Chunshi watched her puff her cheeks, "I asked, the logistics department doesn't have honey-flavored nutrient solution. Is it very hard to get?"

"Not too bad." Xie Chunshi smiled with lowered eyebrows, pulling up the indoor surveillance on his light brain. On the long table in his bedroom was a very long row of nutrient solution stands. "I buy a batch every month."

"Ah, do you like this flavor too?"

Because there were so many nutrient solutions, Chen Sui suddenly thought of this point.

Xie Chunshi gazed at her for a while, then sighed somewhat helplessly. As Chen Sui stared at him in bewilderment, his curly hair swayed a few times: "No."

"I just thought, since you like it, I could keep more."

Chen Sui was stunned, and her face belatedly turned red, but emotionally she still didn't understand why he did this.

"You don't need to be so particular, I can actually drink any flavor!"

Chen Sui felt it was somewhat troublesome, and besides, she heard this flavor was hard to get.

Xie Chunshi looked up, and only then did Chen Sui notice his pupils were pitch black, his gaze very hot, as if direct eye contact could burn.

"But you prefer this one, I know," his last words were very soft, "I want you to be a bit happier, I don't want you to settle."

Xie Chunshi's daily routine included observing Chen Sui. He knew that in Chen Sui's eyes, many things had no difference.

But they were actually different.

When drinking honey-flavored nutrient solution, she would lick her lips, like after eating candy. That was the difference.

Chen Sui was already somewhat numb. She couldn't count how many times she had been stunned, but even with her slow realization, she detected Xie Chunshi's abnormality.

Her heart uncontrollably pounded several times. This feeling was something Chen Sui had never experienced before, but joy and delight surged up in her heart beyond her control.

This feeling was very similar to when she was taken as a student by Chen Jia, but also completely different.

"Want to drink some more?"

Xie Chunshi took out a nutrient solution from his pocket, and seeing Chen Sui's dazed appearance, smiled gently.

Chen Sui looked up at him, her expression somewhat bewildered. She didn't know whether to take it, and even at this moment, she hadn't figured out the meaning behind Xie Chunshi's behavior.

This was something she had never experienced before.

Xie Chunshi knew she was having trouble understanding, so with a very gentle motion, he inserted the nutrient solution into Chen Sui's pocket, smoothed out her messy hair caused by vigorous running, and then smiled with curved eyes: "It's okay, Ah Sui."

"We still have a long time together, you can think about it slowly."

"About my feelings for you."
